Snow day hangover

so we got about 12-14" of snow yesterday. got home early and cleaned up the driveway and played with the kids for a while. they built an igloo. well sort of... it was pretty cool. lots of fun!
up and out early today. up before the alarm. weird.
looked at the rx'd workout and was psyched. 2 things i really like.

treadmill warm up
1/4
1
1/4
felt good running. same as usual with a good run out on that last quarter. that has changed lately. where i would usually use that as a slight cool down now i just drop the speed and run it out.

strength warm up
sluggish here to say the least. really not feeling it.
3 rounds
10 dips
10 pull-ups
10 air squats
little slow on these. maybe a bit stiff from yesterday? maybe just fatigued. started to question the wod at this point. it was starting to look like it was going to be real painful....

WOD.
warm-up with a few 45# cleans and thrusters

5 rounds
row 500m
12 135# powerclean
15 95# thruster

don't have a rower and wanted more run so subbed 400m run for row
decided to use 1 bar and set it at 95. maybe a little light for the cleans but good for the thrusters. figured i would move thru them quick and keep the met-con high!

had to break the thrusters a little bit as my wrists were burning after the powercleans. pc's felt light but by 10 they were getting hard each round.
the 400's were at a decent pace and were hard coming off the thrusters.

made it thru 4 rounds in 24 minutes and called it there. was out of time and realized about 3 rounds in the this was going to be more of a amrap than 5 straight rounds.

definitely a little off mentally today. felt good to move some weight. totally cashed out after this one. real suffer fest!

will be a mainsite rest day tomorrow so will look at CFE and probably do a longer run workout or maybe not. we'll see!
